Foreword

The tremendous impact of a parent's attitudes and behavior upon a growing child has been emphasized repeatedly by psychologists. Indeed, a parent's influence often carries on into the child's later years, leaving an indelible mark upon his personality.

This influence can be for the good, as when a child grows into a mature and happy adult or for the bad, in the case where the child grows into a confused outsider.

This is the story of an impressionable teenage boy whose relationship with his mother threatens to leave indelible marks on his personality if the potentially dangerous situation in which he finds himself is not changed. His mother refuses to let go, and the boy, feeling that everything his mother does must be right, allows her to lead him down a forbidden path. But who is to say they are wrong?

MAMA'S BIG BOY-a shocking story, certainly, but one which should be told.
